Total Jerks is a high-energy punk band known for its raw sound and unapologetic lyrics, hailing from the vibrant underground music scene of Jakarta, Indonesia. Formed in the early 2010s, the group quickly made a name for themselves with their searing social commentary and aggressive musical style, channeling the spirit of early punk acts. The band's lineup revolves around a core of dedicated members who have remained fiercely independent, self-producing their work and organizing shows.

Their most recent releases showcase Total Jerks' continued commitment to the punk ethos, with 'Life Is Hate' and 'Fear' expanding on their exploration of disenchantment and rebellion. The 2020s have seen the band not slowing down but rather refining their edge; 'Petarung' (meaning 'fighter' in Indonesian) reaffirms their confrontational stance through rapid-fire rhythms and defiant vocals, while 'Singles 2020' compiles some of their standout tracks, solidifying Total Jerks' status as torchbearers of contemporary punk, resonating with a new generation of fans seeking authenticity and raw passion in their music.
